The E. Schweizerbart'sche Verlagsbuchhandlung (also E. Schweizerbart for short ) is a science publisher based in Stuttgart . At an early stage, the focus was on natural sciences, textbooks and school books and consists specifically in geo and environmental sciences (geology, mineralogy, paleontology, geography, meteorology), biology (botany, zoology), anthropology and aquatic ecology.

It was founded in Stuttgart in 1826 as an expedition of the work of our time by Wilhelm Emanuel Schweizerbart and in 1830 was named E. Schweizerbart'sche Verlagbuchhandlung. In 1841 his nephew Christian Friedrich Schweizerbart (1805–1879) took over.

In the 19th century the publisher published Eduard Mörike and Historisches, among others , as well as translations by Charles Darwin . In addition to books, you also publish magazines.
